MLP/Warhammer 40K crossover, part 5. The pieces are placed. The battle lines have been drawn. The 38th Company and Equestria fight relentlessly against the alien menace (the other one, that is), but the odds are hardly in their favor.

The problems between the three tribes didn't end with the founding of Equestria. As the nation faces race riots, assassinations, and the threat of a civil war, it will take everything Commander Hurricane has just to see it survive the years.

Magick is changing, signaling the coming of an impending change. Will Equestria pull past the devestation and be reborn, or will it crumble as its 'gods' have deemed so? The key lies in an ancient figure long thought dead, and an amnesiac v

One changeling has decided to use his talents to help others heal, and has chosen Earth as the place where he can make the greatest difference. Today, however, will be a little more personal than usual.

400 years before the Unification, Earth ponies are hardly better than slaves to Unicorns and Pegasi. Then a strange, wounded biped is found near their village. With a sign from the gods and the stranger's knowledge, a change begins to take root.

Humans... humans are such a bizarre race. Capable of the greatest benevolence and the worst atrocities. And yet, they're so very predictable. For you see, while societies may die, and nations may crumble, one thing will remain constant: the desire to survive.

Holy sweet mother of... That was awesome. If this is one of the reasons we haven't had a Background Pony update, I'm perfectly okay with this. For this was an excellent story. And it's finished, you say? Well, that's okay. This was excellent. Well done

This is genius and creative and horrendously sad. I loved and hated every word. Equestria as a distantly-post-apocalyptic Earth is a fascinating idea. I've been waiting to see you write for Discord, and I was far from disappointed.

I hesitate to say this, because it's not entirely true, but I wish I could get a glimpse of your imagination. How does it come up with this stuff? And how does it describe it so vividly? So horribly...?

This is my favorite "Human" oneshot, and I doubt it will ever be topped.

A story about last pony in Equestria, a story about invisible unicorn that no one remember and lives on its own, another story about a lone pony in Tartarus, and now a story about the last human being.

I think there is some sort of pattern here. Not that I mind, they're all awesome and a good way to spend hours upon hours to read.

you really like sending me into the dark, dank hole that is humanity's corruption, don't you? I mean, the last pony was great, but this can be amazing. And what do you think about contradicting your own story time-lines from the last pony?

Really? Something this awesome is a one shot SS&E???Of course I am still waiting for you to return to EoP, so far be it from me to try and prod you towards making more of this...but if you could somehow do both... (or, I suppose three if ya count background pony).As always, love yo shit!

That is not true. Our greatest creation is not destruction. We are not that paradoxal.Discord is wrong. I am not vain in knowing what our greatest creation is.I be damn if I let some fake unreal broke god tell me who I am!

966081 You missed the point. Well said, 966128. When the story ends, we feel afraid. Or we feel gross, or worried, or angry--anything but happy. Anything but moral. The point of the story is that, if we're not careful and conscious about them, human tendencies toward violence and selfish survival can be chaotically devastating.

I believe that's the point. We know Discord is wrong. You, as the reader, are supposed to think, "No, Hayden, don't listen to him!"

Discord is the god of chaos, and he achieves his goals by manipulation and deceit. This is just a story of someone who fell for it. I think SS&E wanted you to take away that Discord is wrong about humanity, and if you think differently, that this could be the end result.

...damn. That's all I have to say.Those ponies are probably screwed unless they can hit the war machine with the Elements of Harmony. And if Hayden's any competent he'll kill one of them before that happens.Good story.
